If you really want to bowl over guests, carve this festive holder for candies. First, scour the pumpkin patch for a gourd that's wide and deep enough to fit a serving dish. Next, cut off the pumpkin top, and scoop out innards. Sink the bowl into your hollowed-out pumpkin and fill with goodies. For an extra flourish, pick up a large paper doily and cut off the trim to fit around the pumpkin's edge; attach it with double-sided tape to the exterior lip.
